Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei has given up all the initiative, and what happens next depends entirely on Li Yi's wishes.

Squinting his eyes, Li Yi cupped his hands towards Tao Qian and said, "Tao Shijun!"

Tao Qian hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "Your Majesty Xiang, if you have something to say, just say it."

Tao Qian didn't notice that when he talked with Li Yi, compared with the ostensible wooing and friendship at the beginning, now there is more deep awe in it, even his Unconsciously, he bent down a little more.

The contest between Guanzhang and Dianwei Weiyan just now was a lesson for Tao Qian and all Xuzhou officials, letting them know that compared with Li Yi and Liu Bei's subordinates, the huge Xuzhou state pastor has one who can No hits!

Is there no one in Xuzhou, or is Tao Qian too incompetent?

It's hard to answer this question. Anyway, Tao Qian's momentum has dropped a bit since he doesn't have a strong general under his command.

In addition, when Li Yi's guards came, they did things in an orderly manner, whether they were guarding Li Yi, or guarding against Liu Bei and the others. Although they were busy, they were not chaotic. Only a few responsible officers spoke during the whole process, which seemed very orderly.

But on Tao Qian's side, although the guards he brought were close, as soon as the two sides started fighting, he immediately panicked. A group of people were noisy and didn't know what to do. It's easy to calm down, but Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou, is still absent-minded, and Liu Bei even snatched his sword, which is really shameful.

In this comparison, Tao Qian fell short of Li Yi again.

Although these situations have not yet been compared on the bright side, this fact has already affected the mentality of many people invisibly.

Tao Qian's changes before and after were noticed by some caring people, and they sighed in their hearts, but Li Yi didn't notice this. Although he was talking to Tao Qian, his attention was basically on Liu Bei's side, looking out for himself Continue to ask: "Before I said that if Zhang Fei helps, Cao soldiers, envoys, and Xuzhou's talents can be retired within three months. I think I didn't believe it at the time, but just now Zhang Fei fought with Dianwei. To decide the outcome, everyone already knows his bravery, so when I say Zhang Fei is not just talking about it, let alone taking personal revenge, it is true that Zhang Fei is not as famous as Dian Wei. easy."

Everyone nodded. Although there were some deliberate embarrassing factors in this matter, what Li Yi said was not bad. As far as Zhang Fei's previous performance was concerned, the local generals in Xuzhou might not be enough for him alone. Clean up, such a person, as a surprise soldier, is indeed very easy to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

The three of Liu Bei suddenly felt bad. They naturally thought of Li Yi's request at the beginning, and they might ask for Zhang Fei again, but this time, they could no longer refuse.

Zhang Fei looked resigned, but this time he didn't make any obvious reaction. He had already thought about it. If Li Yi made the previous request again, he would agree, and he would give up his body for Liu Bei and Guan Yu. Let's leave this place first, as for the future, he can't even think about it.

Tao Qian obviously thought of this too. He wanted to sell Li Yi, so he took the initiative to say: "Liu Bei is now an official in Xuzhou. If the Marquis of Xiang wants to, I can issue a warrant to arrest Zhang Fei."

Tao Qian was just halfway through when he was interrupted by Li Yi waving his hand: "No, no, Mr. Tao, just now I have seen that the three brothers Liu Bei have deep feelings, how can I have the heart to separate them, and even if Zhang Fei When it comes to me, not to mention that it's hard to do my best, if something happens to him in the future, I'm afraid some people will criticize him, thinking that I have harmed him."

Zhang Fei heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to go to Li Yi's side. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of being useless.

However, Liu Bei's face was solemn, and his heart became more and more nervous. Li Yi didn't want Zhang Fei anymore. This was definitely not a concession, there must be a bigger conspiracy!

Tao Qian nodded his head, then asked, "Then what is the Marquis Xiang's plan?"

Li Yi pointed at Guan Yu and said, "Although I knew Guan Yu was powerful before, I didn't know that he was so powerful. If one person fights alone, I will not be defeated by two generals."

Wei Yan and Gan Ning immediately showed embarrassment, bowed down and said: "The last general is incompetent, please punish me, my lord!"

Li Yi shook his head, helped the two of them up, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, no matter how good your martial arts are, you can't survive under ten crossbows, so this is a small way, so there is no need to worry about it."

Li Yi comforted the two of them, while Guan Yu on Liu Bei's side had already clenched his fists. He only thought that Li Yi was plotting against him instead, and felt that Li Yi was deceiving too much.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also looked at Guan Yu with worried faces. Guan Yu is different from Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei seems to have a hot temper, but he just has a "straight" temper, but Guan Yu can't. He is really arrogant, let Guan Yu follow For the people he is convinced, he can make great achievements in a down-to-earth manner, but if Guan Yu is asked to follow him, for those who are dissatisfied, I am afraid that Guan Yu will either have a hole in the sky, or Guan Yu's own back will be crushed.

If Li Yi wanted to embarrass Guan Yu, the consequences would definitely be worse than Zhang Fei.

Tao Qian didn't dare to speak this time, because he also knows how to judge people, and he can see that Guan Yu is an extremely difficult person to restrain, and just now he said that they are brothers, so Li Yi's purpose is even more difficult to guess.

At this time, everyone only listened to Li Yi and said again: "Since Guan Yu's bravery is no less than Zhang Fei, Tao Shijun thinks that if Guan Yu is the vanguard, it is possible to make meritorious deeds?"

"It's not bad to think about it."

That's all Tao Qian could say, try to leave some leeway for himself.

Li Yi smiled and looked at Liu Bei, that smile was like a spring breeze, but Liu Bei only felt the cold wind in front of him, making his whole body cold.

Li Yi half stated, half questioningly said: "Since Liu Bei has such two fierce generals by his side, if he leads the army to fight Xia Houyuan, with the bravery of the two of them, it shouldn't be difficult to kill Xia Houyuan by surprise, right?"

"hiss"

Liu Bei couldn't help taking a breath, Li Yi wanted him to fight Xia Houyuan desperately!

Tao Qian was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Li Yi to have such a plan, but he immediately understood the key point, his eyes lit up, and he said decisively: "I think it's feasible, Xuande, what do you think?"

In the final analysis, it was Li Yi's earliest words that had too much influence on Tao Qian, making Tao Qian wary of Liu Bei. Later, seeing the bravery of Guan and Zhang, Tao Qian's vigilance towards Liu Bei went up to a new level. Otherwise, when Liu Bei pleaded with him before, Tao Qian would not just sit idly by.

And Li Yi's intention now is to ask Liu Bei to fight Xia Houyuan to the death, which is not too much Tao Qian's wish.

For Tao Qian, although he was happy that reinforcements like Li Yi and Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, he was also in a dilemma, because they came to help, not as death squads. Tao Qian can let them defend, but he has to assign them It's not easy for him to open his mouth to attack cities and pull out strongholds and fight tough battles. Even if he does, people may not agree.

It can be seen from Tao Qian's previous arrangements for Li Yi and Liu Bei that both sides are defending the city, and they never said that they should take the initiative to go to Xia Houyuan for a decisive battle.

Now Li Yi proposed to ask Liu Bei to fight Xiahouyuan, but he did Tao Qian a favor. He has seen the skills of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. If these two people can kill Xiahouyuan, it will definitely be a happy event, but Xia Houyuan is not a vegetarian either, even if something happens, Liu Bei will definitely not be easy, even Tao Qian's most hopeful result is that Liu Bei and Xia Houyuan die together!

Because Liu Bei, who is ambitious and forbearing, and has a strong general to help him stays in Xuzhou, Tao Qian can't sleep well.

As for whether there will be troubles if Liu Bei is planted in Xiahouyuan's hands, Tao Qian doesn't care at all, because Li Yi's [-] army is his last confidence.

So, a Jingzhou Mu, a Xuzhou Mu, and a few seemingly plain exchanges between the two directly set up a killing situation for Liu Bei.

Among the three of Liu Bei, although Liu Bei is not as good at martial arts as Guan Zhang, he is the one who understands military strategy best. He immediately understood that Li Yi and Tao Qian jointly pushed him into the fire pit. However, he still had to jump into the fire pit, because There was an abyss behind him, and he had no way out.

However, although Liu Bei was terrified in his heart, he got up quickly and said: "Bei, I am willing to defeat the enemy for the envoy and the Marquis of Xiang!"

While speaking, Liu Bei had already begun to consider leaving Xuzhou.

The tossing just now has already made Liu Bei exhausted. He feels that his survival is all due to luck, but now that he is not completely out of danger, Li Yi has sent another poisonous plan. Obviously, he will not stop until he is killed. What is Liu Bei doing? Can bear it?

Even Liu Bei suspected that Li Yi might "sell his teammates" at a critical moment, and then use Xia Houyuan's hand to get rid of him. In such a situation, how can he persist?

Therefore, Liu Bei could only start to consider the plan to withdraw from Xuzhou proposed by Guan Zhang early in the morning.

At first Liu Bei cherished his reputation and felt that Xuzhou was an opportunity, so he wanted to struggle in Xuzhou, but now Li Yi wanted to kill him, and Tao Qian wouldn't allow him, and there was no possibility for him to gain a foothold in Xuzhou.

It's just that Liu Bei was still at a loss as to where to go after leaving Xuzhou, and had no idea at all.

Before Liu Bei could figure it out, Li Yi asked: "Xuande, I said before that if I get Zhang Fei's help, I can ask Cao Cao to retreat within three months. You not only have Zhang Fei, but also Guan Yu, how long will it take?" able to retreat from the enemy."

"This"

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Bei's talent is not as good as Xianghou Wanyi. Although Guan Zhang is brave, he is only a warrior. He is not good at strategy. I'm afraid."

Li Yi shook his head and interrupted Liu Bei, saying: "You don't need to worry about this, I will personally go to the front to help in the battle, and you don't have to deal with Cao Cao, your opponent is only Xia Houyuan."

"call"

Liu Bei inexplicably felt a little out of breath, swallowed, and said with difficulty: "Three or two months!"

Liu Bei also wanted to say three months, but he didn't dare. After all, Li Yi said that his only opponent was Xia Houyuan, so Liu Bei could only grit his teeth and say two months.

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei comforted himself in his heart, and in two months, he should be able to escape.

"Okay! Xuande really has courage!"
